"Alright, team. I assume you are all aware we called this meeting to brainstorm projections for The Next Big Fashion Thing. Billy, what have you and your team got to offer?"

"Well, Krebin. We think you'll be pretty pleased. We know the riding boot is a resounding success; there's no doubt about that. So we did some research into the history of the boot, and it turns out it was worn by Mongol invaders in the 1200s. We extrapolated this and did a little analysis. Our conclusion: This spring, women will be dying to dress like 13th-century Mongol invaders."

"Makes perfect sense."

"Here we have a ladies' caftan, designed for the busy wife-captive on the go. It's made from super-soft yak hide and cut at a jaunty angle that says, 'Drink in these ankles, Genghis. I could be wife number 7,402'."

"I love it."

"As you can see, we also added a seductive little cow fur accent along the collar for a versatile look that's perfect for a day in the yurt and a night, uh, also in the yurt. It's got pockets for your mobile phone or hunting stick. And, of course, we made it fit loose around the legs for a sexy, billowy fit out in the goat pasture. Mark our words, Krebin: This spring, the Mongol Caftan will be invading the runway."

"Yes! So greenlighted. Get textiles on the phone asap."
